Specification of Letters Patent.

Application filed August 16. 1906. Serial No 330,864.

Patented Maren 5, 1907.

Toma/Zl whom it may concern.-

- Be it known that .1, CHARLES C. Mrrrnn improvements in sanitarygarbage-receptacles, the object of the invention being to produce anapparatus of this nature so con- 'structedthat any liquids which may beplaced in the same may drain through and make exit and so constructedthat the parts may be readily cleansed.

More specifically, the invention comprises a garbage-receptacle havinga. hinged lid upon the top, whereby garbage may be in-v serted in thereceptacle, and the provision of a hinged end regulating theexit-opening, which is adapted to extend through anopening in a fence,whereby the garbage may be gathered without going into the yard in whichthe receptacle is located.

My invention comprises various other dctails of construction andarrangements of parts, which will be hereinafter fully described andthen specifically defined in the appended claims.

I illustrate my invention in the accompanying drawings, in which- Figure1 is a perspective view showing my improved garbage-receptacle aspositioned with one end in an opening in a fence. Fi 2 is a sectionalview longitudinally throug the-apparatus. Fig. 3 is a cross-sectionalview, and Fig. 4 is a detail view of the removable false bottom.

Reference now being had to the details of the drawings by letter, Adesighates a receptacle made, preferably, of galvanized iron and may beof any shape on size and has preferably an inclined bottom B and ahingedlid 0. The end D in the recess is closed.,-and the opposite end is open,a'fhinged door E being 1 provided to close the same. About the 0 en".end ofzthereceptacle is a flange E, whic is adapted to be held against'the outer surface of the fence through which the end of the box isadapted to extend. "Projecting from the outer longitudinal side walls ofthe receptacle are the flanges G, which support thefalse bottom H, theends of which false bottom are flanged, as at H. It will b'eaioted thata space intervenes between the false bottomand the inclined bottom ofthe receptacle,

and perforations I are formed in the side walls of the receptacle,through which air is allowed to circulate to ventilate the receptacle,and a transverse openin K is afforded at the lower end of the inc inedbottom,

whereby any drippings from the garbage may run down the inclined bottomand make exit outside the yard.- Said door E is held closed by means ofthe button N. 7

By the provision of the garbage apparatus embodying the featur of myinvention itwill be observed that after the receptacle is adjustedwithone end xtending through an opemng 1n a fence the garbage may be emptiedinto the receptacle through the opening over which the lid C closes, andany liquids from which obnoxious odor may rise draining from the garbagewill make exit down the inclined bottom instead of being retained, as iscustomary in the garbage-receptacle commonly used. The garbage iscollected through the opening in the end of the receptacle, which endextends through an opening in the fence, thereby rendering itunnecessary for the collector to enter the yard in which the receptacleis contained.

What I claim as new is- 1. A garbage-receptacle provided with a hingedli i, one end of the receptacle having laterallyprojecting flangesadapted to 'be held against the face of a fence. in an openin inwhichthe receptacle is desi ned to be fee held against the face of afence, in an opening" in which the receptacle is designedto be held fahingeddoor mounted at the flangedend of. the receptacle, bracketmembersfiixed IIO to the inner surfaces of the side walls of the receptacle, atray supported "upon said. i bracket members and having angled endslextending beyond the ends 01 the bracket members and adapted to bearagainstthe g ends of the receptacle, the bottom (if the receptacle beinginc-lined and terminating at i its lower end in an opening in the end ofthe g'
